That's the best outrage you got?
Perhaps I should have clarified that the philosophy, in this scenario, also includes passing on some fouls by the winning team. I think that's the reason I don't look at it as favouritism.
Not once, in these situations, have I ever run into a coach or player who, realizing the score was horrifically lopsided, had a problem with me or my partner passing on calls here and there. Perhaps a bit of a raised eyebrow by the odd coach - but after brief discussion, they're fine.
I find that coaches/players in these situations - where their can of whoop-*** is spilling out all over the place - just want the game under control, and aren't concerned with us passing on a few to keep the clock moving.
